An experimental study of floc strength

Photographic observation of the disintegration of individual flocs upon interaction with a turbulent jet has been used to quantify the binding force of kaolin‐polymer and kaolin‐Fe+III aggregates. The data suggest that the strength per unit mass decreases with increasing floc size, thereby supportin...

Description
Summary:Photographic observation of the disintegration of individual flocs upon interaction with a turbulent jet has been used to quantify the binding force of kaolin‐polymer and kaolin‐Fe+III aggregates. The data suggest that the strength per unit mass decreases with increasing floc size, thereby supporting the multiple‐level model for aggregation.
